Princess Saturn (Version A), 5.1 Inch — Banpresto figure

About this Sailor Moon figure

Princess Saturn (Version A), 5.1 Inch comes from Banpresto's Sailor Moon output, released under the Q Posket line. It stands about 5.1 in. It arrives finished: one static pose, no joints to set, no parts to glue, just the figure and the base it locks onto.

What the listing specifies

Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:

• This figure is expertly crafted and meticulously sculpted to look like Princess Saturn from "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal the Movie"!
• Princess Saturn features big, expressive doll-like eyes that bring out her charm
• Standing at approximately 5.1" tall, Princess Saturn is seen in her popular pose

Looking after it

Sunlight is the enemy here. Pigments used on prize runs are not formulated for years of UV, and a figure parked on a bright windowsill shifts colour long before a shaded one does. A dry brush beats a duster: anything woven will snag a hair spike eventually.

Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall

On the Sailor Moon shelf this is the 11th dearest of 28 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $13 to $70. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.
